THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THIS
REGISTRY LA W.
We publiwh elsewhere this afternoon the
full opinion of Judge Agnow, mintaining, iu
the raott usqnalified manner, the conHtitu
tionality of the Registry law passed at the
last session of the Legislature. This luw was
recently declnred to be in conflict with the
Constitution of the State by Judge Shars
wood, holding the Nisi Trius Court; but his
judgment has been reversed by the Court in
Banc, three of the Judges Agnew, Koad,
and Williams being of the opinion that none
of its provisions are in conflict with the Con
Btitution, while Chief Justice Thompson
unites with Judge Sharswood in sustaining
the recent decision of the latter. The result
of the appeal to the court of last resort will
give entire satisfaction to all the citizens of
Philadelphia who earnestly and honestly
desire to see the ballot-box purified and kept
pure hereafter. The law may possibly be de
fective or impracticable in some of its de
tails, but time and experience will point out
these defects, and give us an opportunity to
remedy thein as fast as they are manifested.
The point of Judge Sharswood's adverse
decision at Nisi Trius was that the law de
stroyed the freedom and equality of elections
which the Constitution of the State demands.
This position is fairly overturned by the
opinion of the majority, Judge Agnew giving
the following answer to the question, to whom
are the elections free? "They are free only
to the qualified electors of the Commonwealth;
clearly they are not free to the unqualified.
It is the duty of the Legislature to
secure freedom and equality by such regula
tions as will exclude the unqualified, and
allow the qualified only to vote." The effect
of the law as it acts upon the men who huve
striven to make our elections the most shame
less farces is thus tersely summed up by
Judge Agnew: "It is true there is a kind
of liberty this Registry law will
destroy. It is that licentiousness, that adul
terous freedom which surrenders the polls to
hirelings and vagabonds, outcasts from home
and honest industry, men without citizenship
or a stake in the Government, men who will
commit perjury, violence, or murder itself."
Such are the men whom this law will tend to
curb; and as far as it suffices to do so, it
should and will receive the unqualified en
dorsement of the mass of honest voters,
whose enemies they are. If experience
should prove that any of its provisionsare
burdensome upon the honest voter, or im
practicable in their application, as we have
already said it will be comparatively easy to
remedy them before the evils resulting there
from can approach in magnitude and enormity
the glaring abuses which have so long been
possible of perpetration simply and solely
because no such law has been in force.
HIE NEW DIRECTORS OF CITY
TRUSTS.
We print in our local columns the bill passed
at the last session of the Legislature, which is
designed to transfer the charitable bequests
subject to municipal management to a new
board of fifteen directors, consisting of the
Mayor of Philadelphia, the Presidents of the
Select and Common Councils, and twelve citi
zens appointed by the Courts. The fate of
this bill during the last three months appeared
doubtful, as Governor Geary did not append
bis signature to it until a few days ago, but it
has now become a law, and the new board
will be organized this afternoon.
Several important legal questions may arise
under this new enactment. Inasmuch as the
principal bequest which it will affect, the
Girard estate, was entrusted to the manage
ment of this city, it would be extremely un
fortunate for the present and future genera
tions of orphans if the proposed transfer of
authority to a commission, appointed in part
by the Supreme Judges of the State, should
revive the drooping hopes of the heirs of
Stephen Girard, and give them an opportu
nity for once more contesting this long-disputed
case in the Courts. It must not bo
forgotten that strong combinations of lawyers
and politicians have been formed, at various
times, to devise pretexts for seizing this mag
nificent property; and the general course of
the last Legislature was so infamous, that it
was not incapable of abetting these schemes.
It would be extremely unfortunate if the
effort to secure better management for Girard
College should lead to the transfer of the
entire estate to a few collateral heirs and a
horde of hungry speculators. Before the
proposed change is made, we hope all doubts
r.t tii 5 land will be fully set at rest by an
authoritative decision, and that the mon who
have faithfully guarded the heritage of the
orphans heretofore will guard it still.
It is also alleged that some of the trusts
affected by the new bill are well managed by
their present directors, and that more harm
than good will probably result from the pro
posed change.
Aside from these objections, which, on in
Tebtigation, may not prove well founded,
the underlying principle of the now law is a
good one; and if we were not admonished by
ancient experience to distrust the Greeks when
they bring us gifts, we should heartily com
mend it. The various commissions now en
trusted with the management of other muni
cipal concerns discharge their duties in a much
more creditable manner than the partisan
boards which were formerly elected, and a
yoll-uianaged body of Directors of City
Trusts, composed of men of high character,
would doubtless give general satisfaction. It
is quite possible that the existing trusts would
be administered with great fldolity and wis
dom by Buoh an organization, and the dispo
sition of wealthy citizens to leave large be
quests for charitable purposos, hereafter,
would be increased by the belief that their
gifts would not be squandered by extrava
gance or thoir benevolent designs thwarted by
mismanagement.
THE PROGRESS OF REFORM IN
ENGLAND.
In England reform movements commonly
progress by slow but Bure degrees. Every ad
vance is met by a determined opposition from
the Conservatives, who are either interested
in the perpetuation of abusos, or who have
that genuine British dislike for change in the
established order of things which is unable to
soe good in anything that has not the sanc
tion of antiquity. A measure of reform,
however, when once started, gathers power
and adherents until it becomes irresistible;
and, although the most influential and wealthy
classes are arrayed against it, the matter is
finally brought to pass. The Irish Church is
one of the most prolific causes of discontent
that the Irish people suffer under. And the
injustice is, if anything, the more grievous as
it is to a great extent of a sentimental na
ture. It is a badge of conquest
that touches a sensitive people in the most
sensitive portions of their nature; and disin
terested observers have long been of the opi
nion that the pacification of Ireland must
commence with the disestablishment of the
Irish Church. The agitation of the question
1 as produced its legitimate results, and this
Church is now about to be placed upon an
equality with other religious denominations;
and it will have to maintain itself by its own
exertions, and compete with other religious
organizations on something like equal terms.
It is curious to note the progress that has
been made in the disestablishment question
even within the Inst twelve months. The
following table exhibits the divisions in the
Lords and Commons on the . Suspensory bill
last year and on the Irish Church bill withiu
the present year:
DIVISIONS OS SUSPENSORY BUT. 1803.
Com mono. Lordx.

Oimmnnx. i Lord.
HiRliest No. In favor. .368 Hidiest No. In favor. .1T9

In this connection, it is a somewhat re
markable fact that within the last twenty
years the Tories have only been defeated
twice in the House of Lords in party divi
sions. Lord Derby's vote of censure on the
Palmerston Ministry in 1857 was lost by
"5 votes, and the bill for the disestablish
ment of the Irish Church passed to a second
reading by a majority of 3G. These faots
show how strong the conservative feeling is
in the upper house, and how impossible it is
to have any great reform movement carried
except under extreme pressure.
BORROWED THUNDER.
Akdhew Johnson, a retired Tennessee
breeches-maker, who drifted into politics, and
by a mysterious dispensation of Providence
become President of the United States, made
a number of speeches which were chiefly re
markable for what might be called a dish
water flavor. No public, man of this century
certainly, has utterod the same number of
platitudes unrelieved by anything but vitu
peration as this man. It would be difficult
to find in all his performances, literary or ora
torical, a single sound, sensible idea, a single
word or expression that has taken hold of the
popular fancy, except his famous declaration
that "treason must be made odious." This
is one of those epigrammatic utterances like
the "irrepressible conflict," "Let us have
peace," and others that go straight to the
mark, and become popular watchwords in the
discussion of the great political questions of
the day. It has often been a matter of sur
prise that Johnson should have got off any
thing so good as this, and his claims to being
the originator of the phrase are disputed in
favor of Mr. Robeson, the new Secretary of
the Navy, who is said to have used it in the
Union League rooms in this city during a dis
cussion about the probable policy of the Gov
ernment at the close of the recent Rebellion.
Mr. Robeson's language was shortly after
repeated in Johnson's hearing, and this
phrase in particular appeared to tickle his
fancy amazingly. A few days afterwards he
made use of it in a speech, and was crodited
with it accordingly. It seems almost a pity
that the only good thing A. J. ever said
should now be proved to have been borrowed
thunder.

THE 8TATU8 OK KIN1 COTTON.
Tde report upon the lutereBta of the I'nited States,
prepared by the Statistical Committee f the "Na
tional Association of Cotton Manufacturers and
Planters," whose annual meeting; was held In New
York a few days ago, sets forth the following :
..
Stocks in the ports, September 1, 1808 83,000
Keceints at the ports to lost mail dates
(June 18) 8,002,000
Total Rupply, at ports, to June 18 2,lou,ooo

Total taken from this cron bv Northern
spinners, since September 1, isos 850,000
Aecordinir to the returns made from the mills for
1S0T-8, the Northern consumption, that year, did not
exceed about 9oo,ooo bales. It Is supposed that the
consumption tins year Is less, owing to the reduced
production or Heavy goods. The report continues :
We do not venture to accept as fact, however, the
inference from the above figures, that the Northern
mills require to buy less than 60,000 bales to run up
to 16th October, 1809, which would complete the year
lor wniun supplies ncgan 10 be received at mills,
about October 15, vm, because tt does not satlHfac.
torily appear that the supply In hand, supplemented
by the 60,000 bales, will extend so far. The common
impression Is that the supply held by the mills ou
the 18th of June will extend (at present rate of ucp
p!j t2 n'KWt Agft 20 or 86, and that a further
supply of 10,000 to HO.OOO bales Is required to ran
up to "now cotton," 16th October.

Supply H8 000
If the stock In the port 1st of September, and iu
the mills 16th of October, be awumed to bo the same
s last year, there is an apparent supply for the
maximum want, and a surplus over, in pro forma
statement, which bespeaks of the future only an or
dinary minimum of supply, to cover maximum of
want, and It wonld be well for manufacturers gene
rally, if a large portion of the manufacturing power
shall be stopped through the hot months of July and
August. Looking to October 1, the period of the
annual making np of the cotton statement for all
Europe, the chief elements which enter Into the
supply for that period are now visible, and calcula
tions can be made which will be approximately safe.
From January 1 to June 10, twenty-three weeks, in
Great Britain, the deliveries for home use were
1,178,000 bales, or 61,800 per week. The deliveries
for export uso were 172,000 balee, or 7500 per week.
From Liverpool, 1,165,000; from London, etc., 195,000;
total, 1, 850,00 bales, or 68,700 per week. The total
deliveries from Liverpool alone were 60,000 bales per
wcok. Stock of cotton In Liverpool, Juno 10, 435,400

From the United States, at sea, June 6. .80,000

F.gypt. same as lust year ,oo0
W est Indies, and others, same as last
year 87,000 800,000
Total supply 1,302,000
The deliveries from Liverpool the first 23 weeks of
1869 were 60,000 per week, which Included a large
trade demand for some weeks. Now the trade de
mand Is much less, but there are indications of a
large export demand. Assume, then, an increase
of deliveries to 62,000 bales per week for the next
16 weeks, 832,000, it wonld leave on hand, in Liver
pool, Oct. 1, 470,000 bales, against 424,000 Oct. 1,
1868, whereas on the 10th of June the stock was
217,000 less than at the same date in 1368, a large
falling off in the deliveries for consumption and
export. Exports of plain and colored cotton good i
from London, Liverpool, and the Clyde to the
East Indies and Chlua, 1866, 825,431,905 yards;
1867, 1,000,814,613 yards; 1863, l,207,62s,233
yards, an Increase from lsuo to 1803 of nearly 60
percent; whereas the exports of those goods from
the same ports to the same countries were for the
first five mouths of 1808, 497,9."5,000 yards, n ul same
time In 1809 only 8S7,233,0ui yards, a falling on equal
to 22 per cent., anil the business has left an aver
age loss to spinners, manufacturers, and exporters
during the last five or six mouths. The consump
tion of cotton on the continent of Europe has not
varied materially from that of the previous year.
Their direct importations huve been larger, and they
have taken less from England. Up to October the
manufacturing world has a visible and probable ex
isting supply of cotton, larger than last year, with
whiohtomcet a smaller consumption. The result
promised is a larger aggregate stock on the 1st of
October next.

MXBSRS. FARREL, nKRRINO & CO.,
No. 629 Chesnnt street, Philadelphia,
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 29, 180, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it ia
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several Jiours, but supposing It to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed Is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what yon claim for them, Bur-glar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
15 P 3' BALSBACKi Agent.
